In this week-long workshop with Keren-or Ben Shachar, we will be working in depth on floorwork technique by practicing elements that focus on our relationship with the floor. we will work with sliding, rolling, crawling, jumping, and running, challenge verticality, and experiment with new movement patterns.
Each session will start with a warm-up followed by floorwork elements, which will be integrated into dance phrases inspired by ‘flying low technique.’ Throughout the week, we will build on our skills and explore how we can combine qualities of softness and precision, as we smoothly transition and dance through the different levels (i.e. floor, mid-level, standing). Once we become familiar with the patterns, we will work with different speeds, directions in space, add movement complexity and introduce soft acrobatics elements. Additionally, to the technical work, we will keep our joy of moving and dancing together!
The workshop is open to people at an intermediate level and for those with basic contemporary dance experience. While participants should be familiar with basic movements and transitions between standing and floor-based work, the class will also be adapted to accommodate and support the range of skills level.
It is recommended to bring long pants & a long sleeved shirt for protecting the skin when sliding / working with the floor.
''Keren’s workshop was transformational. Before taking her workshop, I felt uncomfortable working on the floor. Her instructions and scaffolding are clear and her attitude is motivating. By the end of the week, I felt a whole new relationship to moving in space. I slipped easily into the curves and spirals she describes and found greater joy in being in my body.''
